Student Support Services

The Connecticut Technical High School System (CTHSS) is dedicated to providing a high quality comprehensive academic and advanced technologies curriculum for all students. Students who have been identified in need of specialized instruction are provided services in the least restrictive environment. The District complies with all State and Federal guidelines when making decisions concerning each student’s educational programming. Individual student needs are addressed at least annually at a Planning and Placement Team (PPT) meeting where all considerations are reviewed by a team.

Special education and general education staff work together to provide students with a learning environment that meets the learner’s individual needs for specialized instruction, accommodations and modifications where appropriate to meet district outcome expectations. District staff works closely with families and outside agencies as necessary and welcomes their interest in their student’s progress.

Once a student receives a First Step letter, 504 and special education records must be received by the technical high school within 10 days. A 504 or IEP team will be convened for a child with special needs to determine what services are appropriate for the child in the CTHSS environment. The CTHSS programming found at the following link CTHSS Programming Considerations and student learning needs will be considered. In some instances, a team may determine that a Connecticut Technical High School is not an appropriate placement for a student.
